About This School

Trinity County Office of Education’s Special Education Department serves students throughout Trinity County and the SELPA (Special Education Local Planning Area) serves all of Trinity County.  The Special Education Department serves the 11 school districts in Trinity County with Speech and Language Services, School Psychologist Services, Adapted Physical Education Services, Occupational Therapy Services, and all special education services for 3-5 year olds.  The county also serves “solely low incidence” students ages 0-3.  Four of the school districts (Douglas City Elementary School District, Junction City Elementary School District, Lewiston Elementary School District, and Southern Trinity Joint Unified School District) operate their own Resource and Special Day Class programs.  The other seven school district special education programs are operated at the county level. 

 

Trinity County is sparsely populated but geographically very large and mountainous.  With rare exceptions, special education students are served in their district of residence.  Our school districts and special education teachers serve students with every type of disability and generally those students are well-integrated into the general education classrooms.  Of 321 students currently receiving special education services, only 30 are Special Day Class students.     
 
 All of the school districts are emphasizing early intervention services in the primary grades to reduce the need for special education services for students.  The schools are also collaborating at all grade levels with the special education programs to support students in the general education classrooms with modifications and accommodations and allow all students access to the core curriculum in the least restrictive environments.  The schools are at various stages of planning and/or implementing 3-tiered models in anticipation of developing Response to Intervention models for considering eligibility for special education.
